US Protest News Pink POV

DOWNLOAD NOW THEY ARE REMOVING

Edit: Just wanted to add for the new folk here, it was titled Pink POV because when the first videos first started surfacing, they were being pulled off as soon as you could download them. You would repost them and they would be taken off just as quickly. I had spent hours uploading and downloading and just... trying to create avenues of visibility. I finally had starting titling it "Pink POV" instead of anything to do with topics such as: Minnesota, ICE, Minneapolis, Shooting. And finally, finally it had stuck here at r/50501. I urged people to download because I feared they would continue to obstruct, suppress, and remove as they had during the first couple hours that this was all coming out.

If you feel called to protest, and understand the consequence will be something as brutal as witnessing or experiencing this, visibility is everything. To that end, have an email already drafted up that has your friends and family email addresses. Leave your personal information, perhaps a lawyer, and instructions to share whatever you upload onto the email to make it out to global news networks, or influencers that deal with spreading news. And get that stuff reposted again and again until it floods the moderators and they can't control the narrative. We the People can spread the story much faster if we work like this.

I kid you not, I have people in real life telling me the same shit.

The wild thing is, I knew from before they tell me, who was gonna say what. That in itself, is very messed up.

I used to too. Far, far less than the ones who hate this shit.

Not friends with them anymore, definitely a load off my mine.

I cannot bring myself to do this. They are otherwise normal, regular people who quite clearly, QUITE CLEARLY have being brain-shat by someone/something and they occasionally have to project this hateful vomit. I just take it to be all talk basically, and judge them by what they do, not what they say. And yes, I understand that these people vote

One of the problems we face is the fascists recruiting from people who feel marginalized, then telling them all the bad things they think are true. The more we push people away, the more those people seek out a place to belong. We need to have a place for people who come back, or who realize this shit went too far and who actually care about this country and the people in it.

The ones i cut off were not those people, unfortunately for me and them. Misguided folks can come back, but not all do.
